The Evolutionary Origin of Complex Features

Supplementary Information

The first three sections below provide some background information on Avida
and the logic functions that digital organisms perform. The fourth section
provides some additional data on phenotypic and genomic evolution along the
line of descent in the case-study population, up to the time of origin of the
EQU function.
